Uttoxeter Road, Hilton, DE65

A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTRYSIDE, A WHOLE LOT OF CHARACTER - A HIDDEN GEM ON THE EDGE OF HILTON! SPACIOUS LIVING AREAS, FIELD VIEWS AND A DOUBLE GARAGE…WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE?

Our Agent Mikaela Says:

“Tucked away on the edge of Hilton, within a charming development on the site of the former school, this beautiful double-fronted home was once the headmaster’s house. Surrounded by trees and enjoying open field views, it has a wonderfully private feel and wouldn’t look out of place in a period film.

Inside, the owners have done a lovely job of blending traditional character with modern touches. I adore the wooden doors, high ceilings and plenty of natural light give the house real personality, while the kitchen diner, with its stone-coloured shaker cupboards, marble-effect worktops and space for family dining, is perfect for everyday life. The cosy living room, complete with feature fireplace, continues that welcoming feel.

Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms, including a main bedroom with ensuite and double shower, plus a traditional-style family bathroom that fits beautifully with the character of the home. The bathroom has to be my favourite part of upstairs!

Outside, there’s side-by-side driveway parking, a double garage and a lovely garden with raised decking and a patio for outdoor dining, all surrounded by leafy views.

With its storybook setting, countryside outlook and the amenities and transport links of Hilton close by, this is a home that offers something genuinely different. A little bit Wuthering Heights, with everyday convenience just around the corner.”

Our Sellers Thoughts:

“I’ve loved living at The Old Headmasters House for the last 8 years - it has been my corner of peace and quiet in the village. It has a lovely history and character and as I was one of the last group of children who came to school here - it has real sentimental value to me as well. I love hearing stories from people who came to school here, the neighbours are all lovely and we get the best sunsets! It’s going to be very hard to leave and I’m sure the next owners will love it as much as I have.”
